Sandwich cookies really are a perfect decorating cookie for most any fun recipe.
Oreo brand seems to be the most used sandwich cookies.
Sandwich cookies work well in this recipe for a couple of reasons.
Not only are sandwich cookies popular cookies, they are also a sturdy cookie to use as a decoration and be decorated. Even better, that are a flat surface, the right color, and full of their own flavor.
These spider cookies are made without peanut butter.
I have nothing against peanut butter.
However, people do ask about it when it comes to this recipe.
Instead, this is a recipe for a spider cookie that is also the decoration for a cupcake.
Feel free to simply make the cookies only. The cookies do not need to be placed on top of a cupcake like I have them.
Tips for making Oreo Cupcakes like these.
While I am using Oreo cookies for this recipe, you can really use any sandwich cookie of your choice. However, if you want your spider to be black, choose a sandwich cookie that is also black.
More helpful tips for you.
- This cookie is a basic black cookie with a white filling. Feel free to use a special Halloween edition cookie instead.
- Much of the work done on the spider is done using a piping bag. Feel free to use the decorating tool of your choice.
- The legs of the spider are made using frosting that is piped. However, licorice or pretzels can also be used as legs if you want something different.
